Antique Gilt Bronze Fireplace Surround Fender
About the Item
This elegant gilt bronze (ormolu) fireplace fender was created in France in the late 19th century. The item will add splendour and beauty to a fireplace, making it the focal point of a room.
The fender features a pierced rail which is decorated with a central cartouche, flanked by stylized acanthus leaves. The ends of the fender are topped by full-length, semi-nude figures. These include a beautiful young woman and a bearded male, holding a blacksmith’s hammer. The latter can be identified as Hephaestus (or Vulcan), the classical god of fire—a figure well-suited to decorating a fireplace. The woman may be Aphrodite (or Venus), Hephaestus’s wife. These figures recline on seats which are adorned with stylized scrolling acanthus leaves.
